New Belgium's Tour de Fat

The rolling revelry of Tour de Fat returns to San Francisco on Saturday, September 21!Join us in the Park for the everyone-in family-friendly bike parade, music, fanciful entertainment, contests, art displays and, of course, New Belgium's Fat Tire Ale and other brews. Check out the home-made bikes, trick bikes for all to ride, slow-ride bike contest, port-a-potty karaoke, amazing art bikes, and the DIY tent

Come Ride in the Parade and enjoy the Show, or Volunteer and Make It Happen!

Here's your chance to practice drawing the perfect pint - and raise $$ to build Ridge Trail!! Dozens of volunteers are needed for a variety of tasks and shifts throughout the day to help make Tour de Fat a success!

All volunteers receive a Tour de Fat t-shirt, beer token, our everlasting appreciation, and more Ridge Trail to ride or hike on! Click Here to sign-up to Volunteer! Must be 21 to volunteer for ID Check, Beer Tokens or Beer Booth everyone else can help everywhere else.

Bike Parade MarshallsVolunteers register participants in the fantabulous Bike Parade, and then ride along as a guide, watching out for problems and keeping the parade group together. Parade route is a flat ride through Golden Gate Park down to the Beach and back.

MerchandiseThere is another place at Tour de Fat just as busy as the beer tent: the Merchandise Booths. Help raise more $$ for the Ridge Trail Council & the SF Bicycle Coalition by staffing, stocking & selling!

H20 TechniciansThe mission: where there is no water, provide it. Volunteers keep the water stations stocked for all, and occasionally check-in backstage to make sure the performers are well hydrated.

ID Check & WristbandsBefore our guests can have a beer, they must come to this booth to receive their wristband.

Beer BoothThis is where it gets fast & furious: bring your bells & whistles (yes, literally!) and make some noise! We need a strong volunteer base here in the form of pourers & servers.

Tear DownThe Tear-Down crew cleans up the party. Missed your gym visit to come to the show? Make up for it loading up the party furniture. But muscle is not a requirement to help here! We pride ourselves in leaving the Oark cleaner than when we arrived, so everything from breaking-down tents, stacking tables & chairs, final trash clean-up, etc. is what you’ll do.

Ridge Trail BoothHelp out at the Ridge Trail booth - sell Ridge Trail t-shirts and use your vast Ridge Trail knowledge to woo guests and help them fill out membership forms.

Ballyhoo Benefits Two Great Organizations

Proceeds benefit the Bay Area Ridge Trail and the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. Last year the Tour raised ~$32,000 for the Council and SFBC, and over the past 8 years has raised tens of thousands more to help complete the Ridge Trail and improve cycling in San Francisco.
